Punch out all layers at the same time. It makes the pieces
more stable and easier to work with the thin layers.

Lay out in same pack arrangement after you punch them out.

Step 2Layout the
petals

Note: this would be the time to sponge the edge of your
petals if you desire. I did not feel it needed it.

Mark the different size petals right on the paper stacks, as
shown in the directions. Directions recommend something different. My way works
very easy.

It is best to make 3 different size succulents only. Offset
each layer. Use bone folder to curve petals.

Large succulent – all 9 pieces, 1-9

Medium succulent – size 1-6 pieces

Small succulent – 7, 8, 9 pieces

Glue each layer of petals together using green glue. Hold until set (a few
seconds), for each set.

Step 3 Assemble your roses

Use a pencil or some other small object, start at the
smallest end of the rose spiral, roll around your pencil tightly. The big round
bottom will end up being the bottom of your rose. Hot glue works best.

Step 4 Stamp your banner

When my kit was put together (by my friend Jeny!!!) I did
not have that stamp set and used a different one, but it worked for this
purpose.

Step 5 Attach Ribbon Hangar

Loop ribbon through frame hangar and tie knot to hold it
securely, then tie in a bow.

Step 6 Arrange flowers

Arrange your flowers into the frame as desired. Adhere using
hot glue, or green glue.

I recommend using the roses to lead the eye around the frame,
even in groupings of odd numbers, make your visual triangle.

Step 7 Attach Banner

Curve the banner slightly, run along the edge of a table to
get the curve.

Adhere it to the frame using hot glue because it will set
the quickest.

Thanks to Jenybeth for her tips when assembling this kit for me! Smooches girl.

There are other things
you can do with your individual succulents. You can attach them with magnets or
Velcro so you can rearrange.

Here is an alternate project created by Terri Gaines, (upline) that she used at a downline reward event this winter. Full credit to Terri for her creative brilliance with this project!

I do hope you give this kit a go before it is gone from inventory, as it is on the retirement list.
